Sedimentations: Assemblage as Social Repair
June 21-December 8, 2018
Opening: June 21, 6-8pm, RSVP required to media@sdrubin.org
The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation
The 8th Floor
17 West 17th Street
10011 New York, NY
the8thfloor.org
The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation is pleased to announce Sedimentations: Assemblage as Social Repair, an exhibition featuring artists who employ strategies of reuse in their practice, incorporating found and repurposed materials that reference a multitude of timescales and politics. Embedded with narratives of cultural heritage and preservation, technological obsolescence, spiritual engagement, sustainable ecology, the impacts of gun culture, and, more generally, social responsibility, artworks in the exhibition are made from the artifacts of human existence to reinterpret the cycles of creation, consumption, and waste.
The title alludes to the late artist Robert Smithson’s 1968 essay “A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects,” in which he draws a connection between flows of thought and the shifting earth, making a case against artistic refinement in favor of the ever-changing qualities of a material’s natural state. While Smithson was proposing this approach for the production of earth works, his proposition is echoed in the material reuse that connects many of the artworks in the show.
The exhibition, curated by Artistic Director Sara Reisman, proposes that disused objects, waste material, and quotidian gestures can accrue new meaning and value through the artistic process of making. With artworks by El Anatsui, Maren Hassinger, Elana Herzog, Samuel Levi Jones, Mary Mattingly, Lina Puerta, Michael Rakowitz, Jean Shin, Shinique Smith, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Roberto Visani, and Michael Kelly Williams, the exhibition collectively demonstrates symbolic and literal reversals of the decay associated with ecological loss and its entanglement with geopolitics, culture, and the safety of our planet.
Sedimentations also draws on the work of a Rubin Foundation grantee, Materials for the Arts’ (MFTA) Artist-in-Residence program, where three artists in the exhibition, Lina Puerta, Jean Shin, and Michael Kelly Williams, had studio space and unlimited access to materials at MFTA’s redistribution center in Long Island City, where over one million pounds of materials are diverted from landfills each year.
Roberto Visani’s recent series of iron casts of decommissioned guns (loaned by the Paterson, New Jersey Police Department) register as fossils of weapons that are at the crux of the gun control controversy in this country. While Mary Mattingly’s ecological art practice has often been situated in community-based and participatory public art projects, her recent photographs capture landscapes being mined for the raw materials used in the production of guns.
In their performative practices, both Mierle Laderman Ukeles and Maren Hassinger implicate the viewers’ relationship to public space. In her seminal project Touch Sanitation (1977-80/2017), Ukeles shadowed New York City Sanitation workers, performing the gestures of their physical work alongside them as a way of understanding the scope of their work. Hassinger’s Pink Trash (1982) involved collecting trash from several New York City parks, painting the objects pink, putting them back where she found them. Both Ukeles’ and Hassinger’s projects provoke questions about maintenance and sustainability: where does our waste go? Who is responsible for its removal?
Elana Herzog and Michael Rakowitz reflect on artifacts of cultural import. Rakowitz’s series The invisible enemy should not exist (2007-ongoing) is a symbolic reconstruction of artifacts looted from the National Museum of Baghdad following the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Each object represents a lost relic reconstructed from Middle Eastern food packaging. Since the late 1990s, Herzog has been making site-specific and architecturally integrated installations that raise questions about our attitudes toward decay. Herzog’s Untitled #4 (2001) reveals a faint, partial view of a U.S. flag, which can be read both as emerging and disappearing from view. As Herzog and Rakowitz point to the ideological implications of eroding cultural symbols, many of the artists in the exhibition have committed to assembling meaning from the rubble of our civilization. While long-held habits of waste and excess cannot be reversed by art alone, artistic reuse can help to rematerialize the seemingly obsolete.

9. Seung-Min Lee, Cindy Sherman, FF Alumns, at The Kitchen, Manhattan, opening June 27
The exhibition portion of On Whiteness aims to take advantage of art’s powerful ability to reframe dominant ways of seeing, especially with regard to philosopher Sara Ahmed’s postulation of whiteness as a “habit,” whose power to form and sustain specific social behaviors and institutions resides in its being taken entirely for granted. As Ahmed proposes: “Whiteness is what bodies do, where the body takes shape of the action…. spaces are oriented ‘around’ whiteness, insofar as whiteness is not seen.” By disorienting the particularly habituated space of the white cube gallery, the work in this exhibition questions, marks, and checks whiteness, challenging its dominance as it operates through default positions in cultural behavior.
Artists in the exhibition include Josh Begley, Paul Chan, Mel Chin, Ja’Tovia Gary, Ken Gonzales-Day, Titus Kaphar, Baseera Khan, Seung-Min Lee, Glenn Ligon, Mores McWreath, Sandeep Mukherjee, Native Art Department International, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Cindy Sherman, Rodrigo Valenzuela, and Anicka Yi.
This performance is presented as part of The Racial Imaginary Institute: On Whiteness. For more information about the exhibition and other programs please see our website.
June 27-August 3
Opening reception: June 27, 6-8pm
Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 11-6pm
The Racial Imaginary Institute: On Whiteness is made possible with support from the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, Poetry Foundation, Valerie Dillon & Daniel R Lewis, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and Leslie Fritz; annual grants from Howard Gilman Foundation, Lambent Foundation Fund of Tides Foundation, and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; and in part by public funds from New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Greetings, art lovers and media colleagues:
My article about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s just-opened exhibition of selections from its large gift of works from the Atlanta-based Souls Grown Deep Foundation has been published in HYPERALLERGIC.
In late 2014, the Met received 57 paintings, drawings, quilts and mixed-media creations made by self-taught artists of African descent, all of whom had lived and worked in the Deep South of the United States. Named after a mixed-media sculpture by Thornton Dial, the museum’s exhibition, History Refused to Die: Highlights from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation Gift (on view through September 23, 2018) features thirty works from the 2014 donation. The show features works by Dial, Purvis Young, Joe Minter, quilt-makers from the area around Gee’s Bend, Alabama, and others.
With the integration into its collection of this large body of diverse works made by visionary American autodidacts, the Met is revising the way in which it recounts the history of art’s development in the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Meanwhile, concurrent with the museum’s exhibition, Shrine, a gallery in downtown Manhattan, will present Annex (May 30 through July 29), a selection of works by several artists from the Souls Grown Deep donation who are not featured in the Met’s exhibition, along with others not included in the gift; among them are Joe Light, Mose Tolliver, Hawkins Bolden, Bessie Harvey, and Mary T. Smith.
You can find my article about both of these thematically related exhibitions here:
I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.
I send you all best wishes!

12. Shaun Leonardo, FF Alumn, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Manhattan, June 21
June 21 | 7pm
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum | 1071 5th Ave | NYC
In Primitive Games, Shaun Leonardo asks, “What might happen when four seemingly divided groups are invited to debate one another without using words?” Loosely based on the Renaissance-era Italian sport calcio storico, this live performance culminates a series of movement-based workshops led by Leonardo and involving four communities, each with a unique relationship to a single social issue. For an hour, the museum’s rotunda is transformed into an arena for a sport-like competition generated by and bringing together workshop participants. By witnessing the dynamics of these groups against the backdrop of an increasingly divisive national political climate, performers and audience members alike are given an opportunity to reconsider their own place within the debates pervading society today.
On Friday, June 22 a symposium gathers practitioners of socially engaged art to consider how museums and other organizations can play a role in supporting and responding to this field. One day after the premiere of Primitive Games, Leonardo leads a discussion with select performance participants who reflect on their experience working on his project. Elizabeth M. Grady, independent curator and former Director of Programs, A Blade of Grass, moderates a panel with artists Brett Cook, Pepón Osorio, and Jackie Sumell about institutional partnerships. Lisa Dent, independent curator and producer, delivers the keynote address, Restructuring. This symposium also serves as the launch of a new Guggenheim publication commemorating the inaugural projects organized through the Guggenheim Social Practice initiative.
Performance tickets are available at $7, $5 members, $5 students. A special offer for a ticket to the symposium and to Primitive Games, on Thursday, June 21, is also available. $15, $10 members, $10 students.

The RISD Museum is proud to launch its multi-year Raid the Icebox Now exhibition project with a convening of participating artists and curators on June 20, 2018.
Raid the Icebox Now will be presented throughout the RISD Museum beginning Fall 2019 and remaining on view until Summer 2020. The project celebrates the 50th anniversary of the RISD Museum’s exhibition of Raid the Icebox 1 with Andy Warhol, which has arguably become the template for inventive impulse in reimagining museum collections through artist-curated exhibition. Raid the Icebox Now will engage the contemporary artists and designers Pablo Bronstein, Nicole Eisenman, Pablo Helguera, Beth Katleman, Simone Leigh, Opening Ceremony, Adam Pendleton, Sebastian Ruth, Paul Scott, and Triple Canopy to create new bodies of work or unique curatorial projects using the RISD Museum as a site for critical creative production, and presentation. The June 20 convening will feature participating artists as well as guest critics and artists such as Ingrid Schaffner (curator of the Carnegie International 2018, Carnegie Museum of Art), and artist Fred Wilson-along with the RISD Museum’s John W. Smith (director) and Dominic Molon (Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art)-to critically assess the legacy of Raid the Icebox I with Andy Warhol and how it has transformed artistic and curatorial practice, critically exploring relationships between museums, artists, collections, and their publics.
Raid the Icebox Now extends the legacy of Warhol’s radically subversive original project, which developed from then-RISD Museum director Daniel Robbins’s frustration with the number of works languishing in storage. Acting on a conversation with John and Dominique de Menil, Robbins extended an invitation to an artist to make a show from the museum’s collection as a departure from traditional approaches to selection and display. Warhol defied expectations in Raid the Icebox I by exhibiting entire sections of items as they appeared in storage, with little or no connoisseurial regard for their condition, authenticity, or art historical status. The exhibition catalogue followed suit with essays, an inventory of the objects, and Warhol’s impromptu Polaroids of museum storage. The dynamic and surprising nature of his installation continues to have a profound impact on artists, curators, and cultural institutions to the present day.
Employing the galleries and digital platforms as well as spaces beyond the museum walls, the artists featured in Raid the Icebox Now will question dominant narratives and highlight the strengths and idiosyncrasies of the RISD Museum’s collection as they develop a series of projects and exhibitions that will be realized from Fall 2019 through Summer 2020. The project reflects the RISD Museum’s central role as a resource for artists, designers, and other makers as a place for research, discourse, and exchange. An updated reprint of the original catalog, long out of print, is also being planned.
RISD Museum is supported by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and with the generous partnership of the Rhode Island School of Design, its Board of Trustees, and Museum Governors. Additional promotion for Convening: Raid the Icebox Now provided by Alliance of Artists Communities.
